How intercoolers creates more performance !

Turbos are essentially centrifugal air pumps. It absorbs the wasted heat and pressure energy of the engine exhaust with a turbine impeller and transfer it thru a shaft into a compressor impeller that pressurizes the inlet air, supplied to the engine.

Unfortunately this compression process increases the temperature of the inlet air significantly and thus the air density in the cylinders are reduced. This means that the air mass is reduced, which in turn means that less fuel can be burned.

So, if you can reduce the intake air temperature, before it enters the engine, you can increase the density and therefore the air mass. If the air mass is more at the same pressure, you can ad more fuel which will make more power.

An intercooler simply cools the inlet air from the turbo, before it enters the engine. It is a simple, reliable and cheap way to get more power from a turbo engine.
